A great insight into the local lifestyle! I had a real immersive experience with the family and absolutely loved my time on the farm. It was a good opportunity to practise the farm it's located in a beautiful area near Baños. The work is non-stop for the family on the farm and you will see how hectic it can be at times with the various tasks. If you're looking for volunteering with structured working hours then this may not be for you. I think the 25 hours a week with 2 free days is not very accurate. But overall I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and would recommend!
